Funded by the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Fund, and administered by the Lynden, the Mary L. Nohl Fund Fellowships for Individual Artists provide unrestricted funds for artists to create new work or complete work in progress. The program is open to practicing artists residing in the four-county area (Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington counties). The Nohl Fellowship is part of a constellation of artist-supporting programs administered by Lynden that includes the Ruth Arts Mary L. Nohl Alumni Award and a Suitcase Fund for exporting work by local artists beyond the four-county area.

The five recipients of the Mary L. Nohl Fund Fellowships for Individual Artists have been selected from a field of 157 applicants in the twenty-second annual competition. The panel of jurors included Efe Igor Coleman, independent curator, Memphis, Tennessee; Raphael Fonseca, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Latin American Art, Denver Art Museum, Denver, Colorado; and Adia Sykes, independent curator and Program Manager, United States Artists, Chicago.
